Threading the upper thread
• When selecting thread, please make sure that the thread
is suitable for sewing machines. An unsuitable thread can
quickly tear when sewing.
• If the sewing machine is delivered pre-threaded, make sure
to take a good look at the thread guide before changing the
thread.
The sewing machine has two upper thread holders: the bobbin holder 6
which you can use to attach bobbins 25 and the spool pin 3which you can
use to attach any spools of thread.

Start-up
17
For a three-thread seam (two upper threads and one lower
thread), use both holders at the same time. The spool pin’s
thread will be threaded together with the bobbin holder’s
thread.
1. Place the sewing machine on a table or other level, dry surface.
2. Depending on the holder you’d like to use, please follow the instructions
provided hereinafter:
− Use of the bobbin holder: Pull out the bobbin holder and remove the
spring. Insert one of the supplied bobbins and then put the spring back on
the bobbin holder. Firmly press the bobbin holder (including the spring)
back into the opening.
− Use of the spool pin: Extend the spool pin all the way out and place a spool
of thread on it.
3. Turn the handwheel 7clockwise until the needle 17 and the thread
take-up 1are both at the top.
4. Insert the end of the thread through thread guide 1 5(from right to left).
5. Pull the thread from above down through the two discs of the tension
regulator for the upper thread 4and guide it through thread guide 2 2
(see Fig. E).
6. Pull the thread through the thread guide in the thread take-up (from right
to left), then through thread guide 3 20 (from top to bottom), and then
finally through the thread guide eyelet 18 (from top to bottom) above the
needle.
7. Insert the end of the thread through the eye of the needle (left to right). You
can also use the needle threader 24 if necessary (see chapter “Using the
needle threader”).
8. Lift the presser foot lever 26 until it clicks into place. Then place the thread
in the gap of the presser foot 14 .
9. Pull approx. 4" (10 cm) of thread through the gap and place it behind the
sewing machine so that the end of the thread points away from you
(see Fig. B).
Using the needle threader
1. Guide the wire loop of the needle threader 24 through the eye of the
needle from right to left.
2. Insert the thread through the wire loop.
3. Pull the wire loop and thread through the eye of the needle.
4. Remove the thread from the wire loop.

Start-up
18
Threading the lower thread
• Only use the supplied bobbins!
• The upper thread must already be threaded when threading
the bobbin thread.
1. Slide the case cover of the bobbin 15 to the left to remove it.
2. Take the supplied bobbin 25 and wrap approx. 4" (10 cm) of thread around it.
3. Place the bobbin in the bobbin case so that it rotates clockwise when
pulling on the thread.
4. Insert the thread into the slot in the bobbin case.
5. Lift the presser foot lever 26 .
6. Hold onto the upper thread and turn the handwheel 7counterclockwise.
The needle 17 will plunge into the bobbin case and then use a loop to
remove the lower thread from the bobbin case when the needle is pulled
out.
7. When this loop has been created, slightly pull on the upper thread and
remove the end of the lower thread with a needle or scissors.
The bobbin thread should now be pulled through the small hole in the
throat plate.
8. Put together both thread ends and pull them out approx. 6" (15 cm). Then
guide them back under the presser foot.
9. Slide the bobbin case cover back onto the bobbin case.
Adjusting the thread tension
If the thread breaks while sewing, it means the thread tension is too high.
If small loops form while sewing, it means the thread tension is too low. The
thread tension must be adjusted in both cases. The upper thread and lower
thread tension must be proportional to each other.
The tension must also be different for different fabrics. The required tension
depends on the fabric’s strength and thickness as well as on how many layers
of fabric are to be sewn.
We recommend that you test the stitching on a piece of fabric every time before
sewing.
− Turn the tension regulator for the upper thread 4counterclockwise to
reduce the tension.
A higher tension is required for the upper thread in the case of light fabrics. If
the stitches are too loose, it means the upper thread tension is set too low.
− Turn the tension regulator for the upper thread clockwise to increase the
tension.
The bobbin thread tension cannot be adjusted.

Operation
19
Operation
CAUTION!
Risk of injury!
Improper handling of the sewing machine may result in injury.
− Keep fingers away from moving parts. Exercise caution in
the area surrounding the sewing needle.
− Always turn off the sewing machine and unplug it if you
are not using the sewing machine and leaving it.
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
Improper handling of the sewing machine may result in
damage to the machine or lead to messy sewing results.
− Make sure that the upper and lower thread are correctly
threaded! If thread is not properly guided through the
thread guide, thread may tear, stitches may be missed,
or the fabric may curl up along the stitching. The sewing
machine may be damaged under certain circumstances.
− Practice sewing on a piece of fabric before you actually
begin sewing. Check the thread tension.
− Make sure that the fabric and threads have been properly
threaded through the sewing machine before turning
it on/off or using the foot pedal. The sewing machine
will immediately begin to sew after turning the sewing
machine on/off or using the foot pedal.
− Do not pull on or push the fabric when sewing to avoid
breaking the needle or damaging the sewing machine.
− When sewing in reverse (manually operated), the sewing
machine does not sew fabric. Using the reverse mode for a
prolonged period damages the sewing machine and can
damage it in the long term.

Operation
20
Sewing
1. In poor lighting conditions, you can turn on the built-in light by pressing the
light switch 9.
2. Lift the needle by turning the handwheel 7(clockwise) away from you
and lift the presser foot lever 26 (see Fig. B).
3. Place the fabric you would like to work with between the presser foot 14
and the throat plate 16 so that the needle is positioned approx. 0.4" (1 cm)
inside the edge of the fabric. In reverse mode, the fabric is moved away
from you. That’s why the fabric should be placed in front of the sewing
machine.
4. Lower the presser foot lever to lower the presser foot.
5. Turn the handwheel in your direction (counterclockwise) until the needle
pierces the fabric. Firmly hold the fabric in place.
6. Press the speed setting switch 11 to select the desired sewing speed:
− Slower sewing (L = low speed) is suitable for sewing tougher jobs which
require great precision and the machine to be frequently stopped.
− Faster sewing (H = high speed) is suitable for long stitches with no thread
breaks.
7. Sewing with the foot pedal 22 : Firmly hold the fabric in place and press the
foot pedal with your foot to begin sewing. Lift your foot from the foot pedal
to stop sewing.
8. Sewing without the foot pedal: Firmly hold the fabric in place and then
press the on/off switch 10 to start and stop the sewing machine.
Changing the sewing direction
1. Stop the sewing machine where you want to change the sewing direction
and leave the needle in the fabric.
2. Raise the presser foot 14 by lifting the presser foot lever 26 and turning
the fabric in the new direction using the needle as the pivot point.
3. Lower the presser foot and continue sewing in the new direction.
Finishing the sewing process
1. Stop the sewing machine.
2. Turn the handwheel 7to bring the needle 17 to its highest position.
3. Raise the presser foot 14 by lifting the presser foot lever 26 . Then
carefully pull the fabric to the left to remove it from the machine.
4. Use a thread cutter 21 to cut both threads approx. 6" (15 cm) away from the
fabric so that enough thread is left to secure the stitch.
5. To prepare the sewing machine for its next use, pull out about 6" (15 cm) of
thread toward the back.
